SHIELD FOR GLOVES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 16, 1910.

Application filed May 28, 1909. Serial No. 499,032.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLOTTE HARRIs, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shields for Gloves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to shields for gloves and has for an object to provide means detachably worn on the inside of a glove be tween the glove and the hand to prevent the perspiration of the hand from affecting the glove at that place.

A further object of the invention is to provide a shield of thin water-proof material with means for attaching the same to cover the palm of the hand and over which a glove may be worn without affecting the convenience of the wearer or the looks of the glove.

With these and other objects in view, the invention comprises certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings :Figure l is a view of a hand with the shield attached thereto and a glove upon the hand broken away to eX- hibit the position of the shield. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the shield.

Like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

It is well known oftentimes becomes soiled and unsightly by reason of perspiration from the palms of that the palm of gloves the hand soaking the material of the glove. To prevent this a shield, shown at 10, of any approved water-proof or non-absorbent sheet material is employed proportioned to cover the greater portion of'the palm of the hand and having loops 11 and 12, one of which is designed to embrace the little finger and the other to embrace the index finger to properly position the shield to cover the palm of the hand. shield in position a glove shown conventionally at 13 may be placed upon the hand to cover the shield and when so covered nothing appears upon the exterior to indicate the presence of the shield inside of the glove.

While the shield may be cut from sheet rubber or other material not liable to ravel it may be made from non-absorbent fabric material in which case it is found desirable to employ a binding shown at 14 which is secured to the edge of the shield in any approved manner as indicated in the drawing by stitching.

The loops 11 and 12 may be made in any approved manner and from any approved material but preferably from a fabric material as tape, braid or the like, the opposite ends of which are secured to the shield as indicated.

What I claim is In a device of the class described, a sheet of non-absorbent material, and spaced loops secured to the sheet positioned to embrace two fingers of a hand adjacent the knuckles.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLOTTE HARRIS.
